I'm in the minority with my review. Sometimes that happens....and I guess this is one of those times.

I've given this 2 stars, and that somehow seems extremely generous. As I started this one, I really thought it was going to be my first 1-star rating this year. I wasn't sure I'd be able to finish. I actually did start skimming larger and larger sections. Some of my pet peeves (and I really don't have many) were counted for and in full representation. I won't cover all or go into spoiler alert detail but I have to mention a few.

In the audio, the narrator's efforts made me cringe. He couldn't do female voices. They either sounded like 2 bit thugs or mousy. Even the men started sounding the same, even when emotion changed...it was all the same.

The dialogue was equally as painful. It was awkward and overly wordy with minutia. The narrator seemed to amplify that.

The repetition was probably the main reason this was so long. So many times, characters had to relive their trauma over and over and over again. And really, they all had trauma and a fine tooth comb so they could comb through it often.

The last thing I'll mention has to do with the characters. Daisy, OMG, was portrayed as walking perfection. She had the King Midas touch and was worshiped by all. Every character often said things to the effect of, "Where would we be without you," "When I'm with you I feel so safe," "Thank you, we couldn't have done it without you, " "You are so perfect." Yada. Yada. Yada. It was truly gag worthy. And her counter part, OMG again, I'm not exactly sure who he was. He was supposed to be a tough FBI god-like (again) savior, but he was SO NOT THAT. He groveled, he second guessed, he needed saving in more ways than one. Everyone's sole purpose was to make Daisy look good, especially Mr. FBI-man. It was all about the one thing.

Okay, so most of the characters could have used some depth and some anchors to reality, but I have to say, in the second half, the story picked up and actually became interesting. I just wish more of that could have been more prevalent in the beginning. So I added a star for the interesting part. Overall this didn't work for me. So 2 stars.
